This document discusses 4 reasons for using online testing: 1. It allows for immediate generation of results without manual scoring or data entry. Various question types can be used. 2. Test data is automatically collated, eliminating the need for facilitator intervention. Data can be presented in graphs, tables and other formats. 3. Analysis of test data is easier since deep statistical or analytical knowledge is not required. Different views of the data allow for better analysis of student, class and question performance.
